Key facts:

  • AC500 and AC500-eCo POUs (Program Organization Units) can be implemented in IEC61131-3 or C/C++ code.
  • C/C++ code can use C/C++ standard libraries and can access the PLC functions e.g. floating point calculations, memory allocation, µs-resolution, real-time clock, file access. Programming in C-Code
  • C/C++ compilation with target CPU specific optimization, like FPU. Programming in C-Code
  • Application libraries can be implemented in C/C++. As only the object files need to be shipped to the customer, knowledge within the code is protected. Programming in C-Code
